I can’t start decorating for fall yet, because to me it’s still summer! I will wait until next month then start doing my porches and my living room/dining room. I get rid of all my hanging baskets and porch box plants and replace them with mums, and I have a scarecrow and I get lots of pumpkins and gourds. This year I think I will do my patio too with a hay bale. I also have fall flags. In the house I do my mantle and dining room table.

Hi Lizzie… I dumped a couple of my hanging plants this week as they looked so bad. I got mums last week and got out my pumpkins for in my flower bed. Thats about it for me… I love the fall look outside… Oh I did get some fall garland to put on the fence.. might do that today… since September starts Monday…ahahahahah

You guys are ambitious! I don’t decorate for Fall. I just have the nature scene whatever that is in the Fall. At one point in my life I did decorate, but no more. Used to get pumpkins when the kids were growing up and appreciated the decorated pumpkins. We have plenty to do getting all the raking of leaves and my flowerbeds cut back, windows washed, etc., to be ready for the winter.

We even decorate less for Christmas anymore than we ever did and got rid of most of the decorations, too. I guess getting old makes us less ambitious and a lot less work, too. We just don’t do what we used to. We are lucky we get lights on the front bushes across the house……….have to cover those with netting to keep deer from eating them all winter long, too. They have ruined all the arborvitaes in the area here.

I used to love to decorate for all the holidays, and seasons. Through the years, I do less and less. Every year, I want to get back into decorating??? Maybe this year. I like to put up all kinds of little lights too. I need to get back in gear.

Just a pumpkin and/or mum or 2. Sometimes some cornstalks! Last yr I got some of my neighbor’s cornstalks from his corn patch. Got to help myself to as much as I wanted! But not this yr, as he didnt do his garden this yr, sad to say, pkus I moved, anyway!

I used to go all out, I love fall decorations, and this house really lends it’self to the colors, hay bails mums silk fall leaves & garland, Mr & Mrs scarecrow life size, Pumpkins, then add scary stuff for Halloween, I used to start mid Sept. I gave most of my decorations away when I cleaned out the basement,

But the last few years been cutting back, this year my heart is not in it at all, same with Christmas, Don’t know what I will do this year, Bill might not be here with me for Christmas.:(

Hugs to Resa from me, too! Maybe if you did sone you would feel better! Jaguae, sorry also about your seasonal decorating, too! I know how you feel! Also can add up in the $$ s! I might try to find a nice fall flag for either the front or my back!

I decorate exactly like you! flags, pumpkins, mums anything fall looking. it is fun, wish the season lasted a little longer. hugs to you resa, didn’t know bill was getting that much worse. saying a prayer for you two. I know its been hard but you are a trooper. my husbands sick right now with that vomiting again, hurt his back a week ago and has been vomiting ever since. he hasn’t eaten since Monday. I am his full time caregiver when hes ill. he just told me tonight he wouldn’t know what to do with out me! shocked me!

I got sick of the heat and humidity about a month ago and put out my fall scarecrow dishes on the country hutch in the kitchen.I have fall leave garland across the top of my deck doors and the hutch too. A couple old pitchers filled with orange, deep orange, yellow and other fall colored silk mums.

I grew my own pumpkins this year so part of them will go out in the flagpole flower bed with some corn stalks and mums and on the deck I’ll have some pumpkins and mums and scarecrows. I look so forward to Fall after the hot summer that I love to decorate and enjoy it. We always have lots of company the weekend of Fall festival and spend a lot of time out on the deck visiting.
